French Fried: Parker rips into former teammate

San Antonio Spurs’ Tony Parker isn’t known for being overly animated when it comes to chastising his teammates for their play on the court. Then again he is surrounded by veteran players such as Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and head coach Gregg Popovich.

But when it comes to making sure his former San Antonio teammate, Dallas Mavericks’ Ian Mahinmi, is on the same page, well that’s a different story.

It seems when Parker and Mahinmi teamed up for the French national team, Parker was a tad annoyed at the former Spurs’ big man’s defense or lack thereof.

Check out this video of Parker tearing Mahinmi a new one for his poor play on defense.

Parker may be speaking in French but you do not need a translator to understand he is not happy with Mahinmi to the point Parker throws a towel in frustration.
